7 Factors You Should Consider When Purchasing Toothpaste


                                 

When you walk through the aisles at the store there are so many brands of toothpaste that it can be tempting to just pick one in order to leave as quickly as possible. Considering these 3 factors can help make this process easy, and keep your child’s smile healthy. Dr. Cameron Fuller helps to give you the important facts about choosing a great toothpaste that will keep your child’s smile healthy for a lifetime.

1.     Start by finding a toothpaste that is approved by the American Dental Association. By purchasing toothpaste for your child that is endorsed by the ADA it guarantees that you have a house that will keep their smile healthy. It also means that it has passed their standards and does not contain products that are not okay for your child.
2.     Find a toothpaste appropriate for the age of your child. There is toothpaste that targets your toddler and has the ingredients they need, while the toothpaste for your teenager is going to have some different items in it
3.     Flavor should be a factor. You want to pick toothpaste that is going to entice your child to brush. By purchasing a cinnamon flavored paste may be too strong for your child and they may not do well brushing, which can lead to dental decay.

Don’t just grab and go next time you are in the aisle looking for toothpaste. Take time to find the right fit for your kids.
